Installation on Shared Web Hosting?

I'm sure this is in the documentation, and that I am just
missing it.
However, I am on a shared hosting environment and lack the
ninja-root
powers to install using the setup.py install. Can anybody
point me to
the right place to go to find out about how to install Trac
in a
restrained system?

Check out virtualenv for creating local package setups.

Various shared hosting HOWTOs have been posted at different
time, but
probably your best solution now is to use virtualenv:
http://pypi.py
thon.org/pypi/virtualenv

It sets up a local "virtual" Python installation
within a folder,
which in this case will be somewhere in your home directory.
 Then
using that Python a "setup.py install" will go in
your virtual install
instead of trying to install it at the system level.

This is a good step-by-step guide written for the Textdrive
shared
host:

http://ches
.nausicaamedia.com/articles/technogeekery/pimping-your-trac-
and-python-on-textdrive-part-i

I have also managed to get this working on another shared
hosting
platform, based on these instructions, but with just a few
tweaks.

virtual-python.py was key to this. Virtualenv is the
succesor the
virtual-python, but I went with virtual-python (for no good
reason,
other than it worked and was in the instructions above!)
